Chapter 12: Demon Sect

After venting his anger on this woman, Xia Fan felt much better in his heart. You talk too much.

You even said that he only wants to freeload if he doesn't get married. Well, let me tell you, I am very good at freeload. Hit me!

Looking at the expressions of the few people, he couldn't help but secretly smile. The ladies in the Buddhist Gate reminded him of a joke from his previous life.

A certain man announced on his social media that he was in a relationship with a woman, but someone commented saying that she is from a wealthy family and they should break up.

But the man replied indifferently, "I love her, not her family's money. We won't break up."

Unexpectedly, a week later, he found out that his girlfriend was working at a club called "Wealthy Family," abbreviated as "Miss Wealthy Family."

While the others were speechless, the fight had already stopped over there. Although the old monk didn't seem to be seriously injured, there were a few footprints on his originally bright and shiny robe, and even his beard was missing a chunk, making him look somewhat disheveled.

On the other hand, the other four people all had a refreshed appearance.

Seeing everyone looking at him inquiringly, the old monk quickly clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra, then stood silently on the side. It was obvious that although the few people didn't go all out, a good beating was inevitable.

Fortunately, the Buddhist Gate cultivates their physical bodies, so they have thick skin and can endure hardships.

"Hahaha, well done! How did your conversation go?" Qi Xiuwen laughed heartily and asked.

Seeing this, Qi Wan'er quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, Senior Xuanhe asked Qing Jun to invite the young lady from this child's family!"

"Oh, I see. In that case, it's better to discuss this matter with the young man's family elders. After all, it's a major event before marriage, and it's better to follow the parents' wishes and the matchmaker's words."

The other few people who had just gone to fight the monk also nodded one after another, but the people present hesitated to speak.

Soon, a stream of light flashed by, and Qing Jun returned with a girl in a white dress. It was Lou Qingxue.

Because of Xia Fan's remote control, the poetry gathering that was supposed to continue was disbanded early, and the courtesans who were invited to liven up the atmosphere naturally left early.

But before she could leave the Jin Garden, a fairy descended from the sky and called her by name. With the pointing of others, Qing Jun waved her hand and took her away from the scene.

"Miss!"

The maid Cai Xia hurriedly stepped forward to support her young lady.

"Cai Xia, Xiao Fan? What are you doing here?"

"Miss, something bad happened. They want to take the young master away and make him their son-in-law!" Cai Xia explained concisely, her words quite refined, making everyone present feel a bit embarrassed. After all, they were all from prestigious families, and it sounded as if they were bandits.

Upon hearing this, Lou Qingxue couldn't help but be stunned, then looked at everyone.

"Cough cough, don't be afraid, young lady. We are not bad people. You are this child's sister, right? We are in-laws!" Qi Xiuwen quickly explained with a gentle and refined manner, and also called her in-law.

After all, an older sister is like a mother, so it can be considered appropriate.

Perhaps it was Qi Xiuwen's scholarly temperament that made Lou Qingxue relax a bit, and she immediately bowed and saluted, saying, "I am Lou Qingxue, I have seen all the immortal seniors!"

Through the woman who brought her here just now, she also knew that these people were not ordinary, and they might be legendary immortals. Fortunately, she had some insight herself, so she didn't panic too much.

"I dare not deceive the immortals. I am not Xiao Fan's sister, but because he is young, I brought him with me. Speaking of which, he should be my guest!"

This was also telling the truth.

Seeing Qi Xiuwen's surprised expression, Qi Wan'er quickly whispered, "Father, this Miss Lou is a courtesan from the Buddhist Gate. This child is just a guest of the Buddhist Gate!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiuwen quickly made the connection between the two, after all, when he was young, he had also been to the pleasure district and knew how popular talented scholars were there.

"That's true. This child is alone, without parents or relatives. Helpless, he could only stay at the Buddhist Gate. Fortunately, Miss Lou appreciated him, so he had a meal to eat. She can be considered as half of our family!"

As he spoke, Xia Fan walked up to Lou Qingxue and signaled her not to be afraid, and also told everyone that this woman had shown him kindness, so they shouldn't make things difficult for her.

Now he understood that the reason these people were so polite to him was because they were all mutually restraining each other. Otherwise, why would they be so friendly to an ordinary person without any cultivation?

Even when ordinary people go to the powerful and influential, they wouldn't be treated so kindly, let alone these cultivators.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the gazes of the people towards Lou Qingxue no longer held the same importance as before. After all, who would care about the opinion of a courtesan?

"Alright, this child is alone without parents or relatives. Let's decide on his fate. Since it's a matter of choosing a son-in-law, I propose that our disciples and juniors compete, and the winner will take him away!" Bai Yiming from Ten Thousand Sword Mountain suggested.

The first person to oppose this was Qi Xiuwen, because his daughter had the lowest cultivation level and lacked effective means in the early stage due to her Confucian cultivation of righteousness.

"No, since it's a marriage, it should be a mutual agreement. In my opinion, let the child choose for himself. Whoever he chooses will be the one, and no one can go back on their word!"

If it comes to a fight, his daughter definitely won't have a chance. But if Xia Fan gets to choose, then his daughter will at least have a one-fifth chance.

"We are all cultivators, so naturally it's all about strength. Why don't we fight each other?"

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Move aside, I'll help you find a husband!"

At that moment, tension filled the air between everyone, and their cultivation powers were on display.

Cai Xia, Lou Qingxue, and Xia Fan suddenly felt breathless.

"Cough, what's the matter? Do you all want to fight me?"

Just then, Xuan Dao Integration spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the other four families fell silent. There was no other reason than the fact that this Xuan Dao's cultivation level was one realm higher than theirs, which was why they called him "senior".

"We dare not, we dare not!"

Everyone immediately regained their senses.

"In my opinion, let the child choose for himself!"

At this point, everyone's gaze turned to Xia Fan.

Although Xuan Dao Integration was one realm higher than them, they were not afraid when united. Thus, a delicate balance was achieved.

Seeing everyone's gaze on him, Xia Fan suddenly felt the pressure increase. Their gazes were too aggressive.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "May I have a day to consider and give you all an answer tomorrow?"

But he didn't receive a response to his words. Seeing everyone's silent expressions, he knew that he had to make a choice today.

"Lou Miss, thank you for taking care of me for the past half month. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay your kindness!"

Hearing this, Lou Qingxue couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. She knew that it was time to part ways. After all, she was just a woman of the mortal world, and they were from two different worlds.

"It's alright, go ahead. If Xiao Fan becomes an immortal in the future, just come back and visit your sister. Your sister will be here in Bright City and won't go anywhere!" Although she felt a tightness in her heart, she still smiled and blessed her younger brother's departure.

Xia Fan nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "My sister is the courtesan of the Teaching Department, but she has long wanted to redeem herself. Whoever can redeem her and retrieve the contract of sale, I will go with that person!"

It was difficult to say which of the five families was better, so instead of bearing the pressure of making a choice himself, he decided to pass the ball back and also do something for Lou Qingxue.

"What's so difficult about that? I am wealthy and powerful. Qianqian, go." As soon as the words fell, clouds and mist condensed into a giant palm and attacked everyone.

"Celestial Phenomenon realm, not good!"

Qi Xiuwen immediately protected his daughter and tried to retreat, and the others did the same. Only the old Daoist had enough power to protect Qing Jun, Xia Fan, and himself, and he raised his hand to counterattack.

"Boom~"

The loud roar frightened everyone in Bright City.

At the same time, a gust of wind blew.

"Xiao Fan!!"

With Lou Qingxue's shout, everyone finally realized the other party's intention. When they turned around, Xia Fan's figure had already disappeared.

"Master, we succeeded!"

On the other side of the Wei River, a figure in black shouted and disappeared in an instant.

The old Daoist soared into the air, about to chase after them, but he saw a man in a black robe standing in the sky.

"We, the Demon Sect, will take this person!"
